This is a beautiful seaside village with stone cottages tumbling down a steep hill towards the sea. Traditionally a hub for smuggling in the 18th and 19th centuries you’ll see why with it’s maze of alley ways and a tunnel that leads from the beach underneath the village. Many of the houses had trapdoors that opened up into the tunnel allowing goods to pass unseen. One of our favourite walks is along the disused railway and along the cliff edge with spectacular scenery and industrial ruins: https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/visiting/enjoy-outdoors/walking/our-walks/walking-routes/ravenscar-to-robin-hoods-bay/Ravenscar-to-Robin-Hoods-Bay.pdf
